For centuries, we’ve preserved memories through photographs, journals, and home videos. But what if you could go beyond simply watching old footage? What if you could ask your grandfather about the fishing trip from that summer in 1995 and actually hear his response?
Glimpse makes this possible. By transforming home videos into interactive, AI-powered experiences, Glimpse allows you to reconnect with the voices and personalities of your loved ones in a way that feels deeply personal and meaningful.


Why It’s More Than Just a Recording


Traditional recordings capture moments but don’t allow for engagement. With Glimpse, you can:

  • Ask questions about the past and hear responses in the original voice.

  • Relive moments as if you’re having a real conversation.

  • Preserve family stories in a way that feels dynamic and interactive.

MIT Media Lab research suggests that emotionally intelligent AI can enhance human relationships and provide comfort during times of loss. Glimpse embodies this idea, creating a bridge between memory and interaction.


How Does It Work?

  1. Upload a video of a loved one.

  2. Let Glimpse train its AI to understand their voice and mannerisms.

  3. Interact with the video—ask questions, relive moments, and keep memories alive in a way that feels real.

With Glimpse, you’re not just preserving memories—you’re creating a lasting, interactive legacy.
